GEORGE W. MYERS, OF CAMDEN, NEW JERSEY, ASSEGNOR T G. XV. MYERS FUEL OIL BURNER C0., INCORPORATED, OF CAMDEN, NEW' JERSEY, A COREORATION OF DELAWARE.

OIL BURNER.

Application led February 10, 1923.

rl`his invention relates to fuel oil burners and the particular object is to produce a device of this nature which shall be simple of construction, consisting of few parts, cheap to manufacture, and highly eflicient for the purpose for which it is designed.

Another obgect is to produce novel means for effecting a forced feed of fuel oil and to provide simple and novel means for controlling the amount of oil supplied.

llt ith these and other objects in vieu7 which Will become more apparent as this specification proceeds, the invention resides in certain novel features of construction and combination and arrangement of parts, the essential features of which are hereinafter fully described, are particularly pointed out' in the appended claim and are illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:-

Figure l-is a side elevation of my iinproved 'fuel oil burner.

Figure 2-is a lonlgitudinal sectional view of the same.

Like characters of reference refer to like 25 parts in all views.

Referring to the drawing in detail, 10 represents the body of the burner which is formed With legs 11 and 12 and is interiorly bored so as to provide longitudinally aligned openings in the body member 10 and lateral branches opening from the encs of the legs 11 and 12. The leg 11 may be connected by a fitting 13 or any other suitable means to a source of steam or air supply, while thc leg 12 may be connected by a similar tit-ting 14; with the source of fuel supply. A valve 15 is shown interposed in the leg 11 so as to control the flow of steam or air therethrough. lVhile this valve is shown as a needle valve, it is to be understood that any desirable and suitable type of valve may be used at this point.

Soldered in the main body 10 is an inner shell 16 having one side slabbed-oif so as to leave a passage-Way 17 for the passage of the air or steam. The member 16 is bored longitudinally and is provided With a lateral aperture 18 registering With the lateral passage in the branch 12. Threadedly engaged in the end of member 16 is Serial' Nlo. 618,340.

a nozzle member 19 in which a needle valve 20 operates to control the flow of fuel as will be readily understood. i

An outer nozzle 2l is threadedly engaged on the discharge end of member-10 and .is controlled as to its adjustment by a locknut 22. The member 21 is provided with a diaphragm 28 having a central aperture 2li through which the eye of nozzle projects. By adjusting the member 21, the shape of the flame can be controlled.

In operation it will be readily understood that the fuel may be supplied under any desired degree of pressure; and the steam or air also. As the steam or air forces its Way out about the nozzle member 19, it will eiiect a suction which Will add to the force tending' to expel the fuel, and will also tend to break up or atomize the fuel for rapid and complete consumption.

While I have described what I deem to be the most desirable embodiment of my invention, l do not limit myself to the exact details of construction herein set forth, nor to anything less than the Whole of my invention as set forth in the appended claim.

lllhat l claim is An oil burner of the character described comprising a bored body portion, bored legs depending therefrom to supply fuel and steam respectively to the burner, an inner shell mounted for longitudinal adjustment in the body and coinmunicatine,` with the fuel supply leg, a nozzle detachably secured to the discharge end of the inner shell, an outer nozzle detachably secured to the body and surrounding the inner nozzle, a diaphragm extending across the bore of the outer nozzle and being provided With a centrally disposed opening through Which passes the eyed end of the inner nozzle, valve means adjustable simultaneous With the inner shell but movable in a direction opposite the shell for controlling the eyed end, and valve means for controling the supply of steam to the bored body portion.

In testimony whereof l affix my signature.
